February is Spunky Old Broads Month and February 1 is Spunky Old Broads Day. You go, girls!

February 2 is Groundhog Day. Remember that great movie “Groundhog Day” that starred Chicago native Bill Murray? It was filmed 20 years ago by Chicago native Harold Ramis right here in northwest suburban Woodstock.

Finally, this month is Plant the Seeds of Greatness Month. With this mild winter, some Chicagoans might be considering planting some seeds to get the garden going sooner than later. OK, maybe not, but still: As we enjoy near-record high temperatures this winter, let’s not forget how one year ago this week, Chicago was in the center of a massive snowstorm that froze the city in its tracks.

Now, while weather is interesting, Plant the Seeds of Greatness Month has more to do with enriching your life than your garden. Take some time this month to implement changes that will make a difference for your community, your neighbors and yourself. Start small and build up, even if that just means . . . pulling your sofa off the wall.
